Life of St. Therese of Lisieux

Therese Martin was born to a middle class family. She was cured from an illness at age 8 when a statue of the Blessed Virgin smiled at her. At the age of 15, she entered the Carmelite convent in Lisieux, France. She lived a private life of prayer and had a great intimacy with God.

During her short life, she suffered many illnesses but always lived a life of trust and love in God. She defined her path to God as "The Little Way". Therese believed that what matters most was "not great deeds, but great love". She died an early death of tuberculosis at 24 years old.

Many lives have been touched by her intercession. Prior to her death, she vowed, "to spend my heaven doing good on earth. I will let fall a shower of roses". She has been called the "greatest saint of modern times." Her roses continue to fall everywhere in the world to those who pray for her intercession.
